Update on my transition from OTC to Yasmin. First month was great!!! After suffering for 2 years on various pills that I had btb on the third week each month and weight gain, I am happy to say that I had no adverse side effects and my period came when it is supposed to! I am thrilled :) Thanks to everyone for all the support.

So Yasmin is a good one? I have just heard about it. I was on the patch but it made me sick. I'm trying to find a different birth control to go on.

Yasmin has been great, esp with the btb and no weight gain. I feel more like myself again, which was not true with OTC. Its the best feeling to not worry about spotting or btb!

that is awesome that Yasmin worked for you. you had the same problems I had. I tried Yasmin but it didn't help but I did notice I had less bloat-i-ness around PMS time. That was nice.

Next I am trying Loestrin, I hope it works for me!

Jenn, let me know how Loestrin works for you, I had been eyeballing Yasmin adn Loestrin, but my Gyn had me try Yasmin first. I only have had one month so we will see!
